Module-two dropbox Assignment
Final Outline

The topic for my final project is:

I chose the topic of Yoga for my final project.

1. The name of the fitness professional that I will observe is:

I will have the opportunity to observe and interact with many Yoga instructors, as I am working in a
fitness facility with many weekly classes of Yoga instruction. Jenny, our instructor on Tuesday and
Thirsday afternoons, will be my principle coach and interviewee.

2. The contact information for the fitness professional that I will observe
is:
Jenny.
Vancouver Andresen 24Hour Fitness
2913 NE 72nd Drive
Vancouver, WA 98661
360-713-0223

I have been unable to speak with Jenny, and last names are held proprietary within our company
for group exercise instructors. I am taking my first class with her on Tuesday, however, and I will
provide more thorough contact information at that time.

3. I will observe this professional on (date):

I will attend classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7:30 pm at 24Hour Fitness Andresen. My first
class will be this upcoming Tuesday, February 7th, at 7:30 pm.

4. This is the outline and plan for my project paper:

I will outline my paper in the following parts:

1. Why I chose this topic, overview and purpose driven outcome expectations.
2. The history of Yoga, its types and derivations, and a timeline of its track and progression.
3. An account of my personal experiences while experiencing this trend of fitness. In this part of
the paper, I will also cover the trends accessibility.
4. An assessment of this trends profitability. From studio to corporate wellness, I will explore the
lucrative aspects of this trend in its own segment of my final project.
5. Finally, I will share my experiences through my interview with Jenny.
6. I chose this topic because:
I have always wanted to improve my flexibility, and I believe Yoga will help me to improve this
aspect of my fitness. Also, I have considered trying a tour on the cruise lines as a fitness trainer,
and research into qualification lists Yoga instruction as desirable for employment. Also, I have
considered it as a way to vary the services I offer my clients as a fitness trainer, currently.
